NCTQ Releases the First Teacher Prep Review - Mississippi

Dismal new findings from the National Council on Teacher
Quality (NCTQ) show that the majority of teacher preparation programs in the United States,
including programs in Mississippi, are not providing adequate training to aspiring teachers, leaving
them unable to accommodate increasingly rigorous instructional goals of public schools, according
to a new study released by NCTQ and U.S. News & World Report.
The ratings, based on a series of recommended practices, show only a handful of schools
performing at a high level, while a significant number of programs are effectively failing.
